  “Nice atmosphere, service was good. Felt the food was just lacking slightly in flavour and the portion size of my dish I would say was on the small size for the price. Overall a pleasant evening.”

  “Amazing dinner. Great New Brasserie menu. I was struggling to choose what to have as the menu was so full of exciting choices. Lots of vegetarian choices. Great wine. Amazing views. Professional and friendly service. We had a saxophonist and that was really nice to hear”

  “We never had a chance to visit before they have rebranded unfortunately but we decided we'd go for a birthday weekend brunch and had a fantastic time The food we had was incredible, the server was friendly and so kind. Even gave us a birthday card! Considering this place is supposedly to be fine dining (the quality and taste of the food certainly matched this description!) the price was surprisingly low. Very affordable compared to the quality you get here. Absolutely recommend the weekend brunch!”

  “Always a special place to go for its location by the river and weir but the food quality was exceptional! Wonderful flavours, beautifully cooked and presented and pleasant helpful waiting staff - one of the best meals I’ve had in Derby. Will look forward to returning and would highly recommend!”

  “Darleys in Derby was a really impressive experience from start to finish. We had the lamb cannon and the Chateaubriand, and both dishes were excellent — beautifully cooked, full of flavour, and presented to a very high standard. The service was just as impressive: attentive, professional, and welcoming throughout. You can really tell they take pride in both the food and the overall dining experience. We had a fantastic meal and will definitely be back again.”

  “We had a wonderful family evening at The Brasserie at Darleys in Darley Abbey. The steaks were cooked perfectly, and everything from the wine and lemonade to the ice cream, cheesecake, and coffee was spot on. The atmosphere was relaxed and welcoming, with beautiful views over the River Derwent that made the setting extra special. The live saxophone music added a lovely touch to the evening. Great service, delicious food, and a memorable experience, we’ll definitely be back.”

  “Best Restaurant in Derby - Exceptional service and a real treat for special occasions. The food is devine, as in the location next to the water. Outstanding. The staff are so lovely and helpful. Amazing little plate for my friends birthday. The whole feel as soon as you walk in is something special. The lunch deals are also very good value for money.”

  “Had the pleasure of enjoying breakfast here for a birthday treat. I've never had a multiple course breakfasts in this sort of format, so that was interesting. The location is adorable, especially if you can get a window seat. Staff were patient and friendly. The food was amazing! Good quality ingredients, tasteful sauces. The crumpet for my eggs benedict initially looked store bought, but it had much better flavour and texture when eating. Mushrooms on toast was so savoury and creamy, but not overly saucy. The brioche used was not overly sweet, so a good balance for various plates. Would happily return, and looking forward to trying a lunch/dinner menu.”

  “More than 5 stars! A small group of us decided to treat ourselves to the 9 course tasting menu which we enjoyed over a sunny Saturday afternoon. We first sat on the outside terrace and enjoyed a few cocktails with our first courses. We retreated inside for the rest of our meal and decided to also treat ourselves to the wine pairings. There is a vegetarian version of the tasting menu, which I had but the staff kindly kept in the fish course as I do eat fish. All the courses were delicious and we considered ourselves well looked after. Great place for a special occasion or to just treat yourself.”

  “My wife booked us in for lunch, and it turned out to be an excellent choice. Even though the restaurant was fairly quiet during the lunch service, the atmosphere was relaxed and welcoming, and the food and service were both outstanding. The menu was very reasonably priced for the quality of food provided. I opted for three courses while my wife chose two, and each dish was beautifully presented and arrived in good time. The balance of flavours was spot on, and the portion sizes were perfect — enough to enjoy every course without feeling heavy afterwards. We haven’t yet visited for an evening service, but after such a lovely lunch experience, we’ll definitely be returning to try the tasting menu soon!”
